A family enters a winter vacation cabin has been unheated for such a long time the interior temperature is the same as the outside temperature (00C). The cabin consists of a single room of floor area 4m by 4m and height 3m. The room contains one 2kW electric heater. Assuming that the room is perfectly airtight and that all the heat from the electric heater is absorbed by the air, none escaping through the walls or being absorbed by the furnishing, how long after the heater is turned on will the temperature reach the comfort level of 24

Half a liter of liquid is being heated in a closed container to prepare food. Initial temp is 25C and desired temperature is 85C. How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of this amount of water as described? Specific heat of water is given as 4.18 kJ/(kg.K)
3.16 The store advertisement claims that a new light bulb type consumes only 9 W to generate the same visible light as an old 40-W light bulb. The advertised saving in electric power consumption is 31 W. The objec- tive of this problem is to question this advertisement. Assume that the light bulb is on inside a building of temperature Tg = 20°C, while the 35°C. A heat pump removes the heat atmospheric temperature is TA current generated by the light bulb (Q) and rejects it to the ambient. The heat pump power required to do this is WHp. The Q/WHP ratio of the heat pump is one-fifth of what it would be in the limit of reversible operation. (a) Determine the Q/WHp ratio in the reversible limit and in the actual heat pump design. (b) Calculate the heat pump power WHp required to evacuate Q from the old light bulb and the new light bulb. (c) Calculate and compare the total power dissipated because of the old light bulb and the new light bulb. The total power of one light bulb is the sum of…

1) A geothermal facility operates at 1/3 of the Carnot efficiency. If the cold reservoirhas a temperature of 70°C, calculate and plot the efficiency of the facility as afunction of the geothermal fluid temperature from 100°C to 300°C. (remember toconvert to Kelvin!)1b) If a minimum efficiency of 5% is needed for this facility to be economicallyviable, what is the required minimum temperature of the geothermal fluid?
Based on the mechanisms of thermal energy exchange what would happen if you exercised in a colder place where it's 5⁰C.
It is a hot day in Atlanta and you and your friends bought an ice cream maker. The unit consists of a bowl and a base that rotates the bowl around a stationary mixing paddle. The walls of the bowl contain an unknown mixture that absorbs heat from the ice cream. The bowl must be frozen (-20°C) before use. Unfortunately, your friends have lost the instructions and can't remember how long to operate the unit. You tell them not to worry since you have mastered energy conservation problems and can calculate the amount of time required to freeze the ice cream. Looking at the box, you find the specifications for the unit: a) Inner surface area of freezing bowl: 600 cm2; b) Heat transfer coefficient for bowl:h = 0.025 J / (cm2 s .°C); c) Power required to stir the bowl (100% efficiency):25 W; d) Amount of ice cream mixture added: 1 kg; e) The rate of heat transfer is between the bowl and the milk. You know that solutes lower the freezing point of water. Assume that the freezing point is…
